Whip coral shrimp of around 1cm big. This little critter is hard to find, as it has the perfect camouflage to live on whip coral.
This picture has been taken in Tulamben, Bali (Indonesia).
This underwater photo was taken while diving, focusing on the small marine life that often goes unnoticed. Underwater macro photography requires a lot of skill and control – you move, the subject moves, and light behaves completely differently than it does above the surface. Everything has to come together: buoyancy, timing, and sharp focus.
The result shows how much color, detail, and life exists beneath the surface. I photograph to make this hidden world visible and to show how unique and fragile it really is.
